I found a home.

From Quora to Youtube I felt I was building a foundation on sand. With the Steem blockchain, I finally feel I am building on solid rock. As you may already know, I left Quora as a top writer, and I quit my Youtube channel. The reason I moved off of those platforms was that when I hear a train coming and I look down at tracks, I don't wait to see the train before moving. The train is coming.. and that train runs on Steem.

Risk is an essential ingredient of success. The best opportunities in life are often staring us right in the face; people tend to overlook them in search of something new. Most investors, retail especially, have herd animal spirits. The phrase "buy low, sell high" has become a meme; it's the most straightforward advice to understand in theory yet the hardest to follow in practice. I cut out the outside noise, and I align my capital with my beliefs. Freedom is taken one inch at a time and never reimbursed. - This Is why I believe in a foundation that defeats censorship and creates an opportunity where there was once none; Steem provides such a foundation.

I will be providing a ton of focus on Steem. My first efforts will be to have a high-quality commercial made for Steem that will clearly show the difference between Steemit.com and Steem the blockchain while highlighting the massive potential for Steem. Then, blast the ad everywhere. We can attract a lot of big-time investors to Steem by merely spreading awareness. Steem is a no-brainer, and once we spread the knowledge, the floodgates will open. Developers are kings in their own rights, and I plan to bring as many as I can. The more projects on Steem, the more moon shots all hodlers of Steem have, and we're all going to the same moon.

The average Steemian investor is a Super Saiyan of value!!! For each investor in Steem is comparable to one-thousand ordinary crypto investors. The average investor might lift a finger to like a tweet, the average Steemian creates a feature/dApp, or produces content or rewards those that provide value. Steemian's go over and beyond. Just look at gonetcoins, and I have a great feeling about Coinbase. Many can become one, Steemians can delegate not only their time, skills and effort but also their SP similar to how humans delegate their spirit to a spirit bomb. With the energy that is focused, there is nothing this community cannot conquer.

Steem is the blockchain of go-getters, overachievers, the ones who work when no one is watching, and help those who no one else will. I have seen more done to progress the human race on the Steem blockchain than any other blockchain and I believe the potential is second to none when it comes to the future of our society.

Yes, glad to see you get it. :) There's a lot wrong on steem, but at the same time so much of it is right. If you focus on the negatives then that's all you're going to see. I acknowledge them, but focus instead on all the positives. And each time I think about them they always get me fired up and make me realize there's nothing really to worry about.

There are some amazing people here and with their actions and words they've really made me reconsider everything. I used to be really skeptical about mankind, but after seeing what is taking place here my dominant feelings of pessimism have been replaced by positive hope. Steem has really made me a better person.

You constantly see people being picked up out of the gutter here. I remember when I first saw a Nigerian vlog talking about how he could live off of the $100 for half a year I think it was. And that post got him an additional $200 in upvotes. That's when it really clicked with me. Steem is changing lives for the better.

There's people being helped and then there's also myriad of opportunities for investors and developers. We're seeing dapps being announced daily to the point where it's getting hard to keep track of everything. Delegating is the best way I've seen to invest in something. You help out a project without risking your own capital. The only thing you risk as an investor is how much your ROI is going to be in the end. Just brilliant.

I could go on and on, like the 3 second free transactions, wallet addresses being simple usernames, one shared account across all dapps etc. But I'll stop here. Steem still needs work but it's already pretty awesome. :)

I have seen more done to progress the human race on the Steem blockchain than any other blockchain and I believe the potential is second to none when it comes to the future of our society.

You ain’t seen nuthin yet. 🍻

Man, you got the words.. I both laughed and felt inspired.

Cheers bud

With the Steem blockchain, I finally feel I am building on solid rock

Man, not sure how I haven't come across you until now, but good to see you here! From the sounds of things, you'll rock it here! I had no online experience whatsoever prior to steemit, and it is definitely a gamechanger.

I guess since "theycallmedan" then I will too! Nice to meet you "Dan."

Nice to meet you too. :)

Woohoo! I'm your 500th follower too!

That's some serious steem power you got there @theycallmedan. I am just happy to see more steem power in the hands of someone who sees the bigger vision and is willing to invest in growing their investment, rather than just seek ROI and delegate to bots and other non-productive avenues.

I will keep an eye for that advert and happy to share it to my Twitter and LinkedIn!

Wow. Within few days your ranking reached -8 from -20

yesss!! this post gets me so fired up inside! you are absolutely correct- here at steem the investors move mountains! lol i am BEYOND excited for your commercial-- i will share it far and wide!!!

I cut out the outside noise, and I align my capital with my beliefs.

i live this way as well. strip away the excess, silence the herd voices and listen to the clear sound of that bell ringing truth! thank you thank you for this INSPIRATION! Yes! I'm in!

Really I stay put and worked hard. Despite life's challenge with a child with health condition, I will not give up. Fell in love with steem and the communities. After I join sndbox summer camp challenge and given the topic 'project which promote steem', the fire ignites brighter. Will not part from Steem. I have seen steem plunge from $10 to now. But I am stucked here.

By the way, I found out about you via @nathanmars. If not the ocean is so big I wouldn't have bump into you.

Thank you for sharing this.

I have just known blockchain for several months. I feel that my knowledge about blockchain is still very little compared to you. But I will learn it little by little. I hope the blockchain will grow rapidly. Including in my country Indonesia.

"...the ones who work when no one is watching..."

I think this relates to all of us who are active on Steemit even during these tough crypto times :) But it will pay off big time when others start waching again, I am sure.

Thanks for these encouraging words Dan.

I agree with you on pretty much all of the post bar one thing. I fully believe in the blockchain and what is being built on it right now. Every week we see a new project or app in the works showing how much potential is being linked to steem.
I think that it is such a flexible blockchain that it is perfect for building a multi level economy on with apps, games, writing payments etc all linking in together and becoming self sufficient. I wasn't early enough to buy a large stake and don't have the money to do it now but I am trying to build my account as much as possible through effort and topping it up when I can.

My only argument is against your timing. I just don't think we are fully ready for mass adoption yet as there is still no ease of use to the blockchain. For people coming in with no knowledge it is still very awkward to do anything here and can turn a lot of people off before they can see all of the benifits. If we ever see a streamlined version of the site and have an easy way to buy and sell steem then I think we really have a winner.

I wasn't ready to swim until my father threw me in the water and I learned to swim. Steem is different from BTC/ETH in the fact it is actually ready to handle the workload. Onboarding people, UI's, ETC are all things that are sink or swim. The more people that sign up the quicker devs will try to find ways to get them in faster. I think Steem needs to flex its muscles and show the world what it is really capable of, the strong dev teams will rise to the top when the challenge is placed.

I'm trying the best I can to spread the word on Twitter. I have 400+ steemers on my list here and will gladly add you if you are over there with a good presence.

https://twitter.com/FitinfunSharon/lists/steemit-friends

Many talk a good game here, but there is very little promotion on other platforms. Aside from my own posts, I usually tweet and rt a few steemit posts from others each day. I have a hard time finding them, since people do not promite!

Since I have been here, (1.5 years) I have around 800 non-steeming crypto connections on twitter now. This is up from zero before I got here since I am a natural weight loss coach and had never been in crypto before steem. Those crypto people give me a lot more twitter action than my steeming friends.

It's really nice to see you here with such a large stake. Things have been pretty discouraging and you bring me hope.

Steem is the blockchain of go-getters, overachievers, the ones who work when no one is watching, and help those who no one else will.

For me, this speaks volumes. You've described almost perfectly those who seem to be here for the long run, those who've stuck around. Those who aren't any of these drop by the wayside.

I have seen more done to progress the human race on the Steem blockchain than any other blockchain and I believe the potential is second to none when it comes to the future of our society.

Amen to that!

Super Saiyan!! Can't wait to see what you come up with on the video you're creating. :)

gracias por brindar tan buena publicación,saludos pronto pasare visitando de nuevo,feliz noche

I'm trying to divest myself from big social media, and Steem has been a great outlet so far. It's been a challenge to bring people over though. The on ramps aren't the greatest at this point.

Every investor in steem has a positive potential in the future that lies ahead. I head of steem some months and asap i signed up and invested a couple of bucks. Thanks for have such an encouraging message for incoming and existing investors on this platform. Stay awesome @thecallmedan

Dan, this inspired me. I was bullish on Steem already, but this post helped me reach a new level of excitement and confidence. Appreciate you being here with us.

Only recently I got to know in the theta-Dream state that "Steemit is going to be the biggest blogging platform on the world".
Of course I don't know whether this means next week, next month, next year or next decade, but considering the fact that it was dreams leading me here with the words"that this platform will bring you all the freedom you want one day", I stick to it no matter what.

theta-Dream state sounds interesting, I will need to duckduckgo that one.

I do that for you ;)

It is basically just a frequency state. Most people these days are in the beta state while awake. This is the state where we are constantly stressed out and never really relax, making easily susceptible to becoming more angry quickly. Alpha state is a state of deep relaxation whereby we indulge in daydreams et...in a sense, it is the bridging state to our subconscious, yet if we cannot really attune to the Alpha frequency, we tend to forget what we dreamt once we wake up from sleeping.

Theta is higher frequential than Alpha, and here we are truly relaxed and in REM Sleep. When we are are practising mental Silence on a regular basis, slowely but surely our more superficial daily worries will be extracted from our mind so that we will enter a natural state of mental calm. When we maintain this state on regular basis, not only will we easily remember many dreams at night, but we will even be able to delve deeper into our subconscious where much more foresighted info is stored. info that is not only pertaining to our own life but rather to the collective consciousness. When we are not used to that frequency state, we might only be able to get quick glimpses because it costs quite some energy to Peak into a frequency that is higher than our own standard frequency.

Then there is also the gamma state, so far considered the highest frequential state. Here the same applies like with the theta-state, only that it goes even deeper into one's subconscious, hence is the place of highest level info. Personally, It is like being fully awake and consciously receiving certain insights while your body is basically fully asleep. I tapped into this state three times so far, costing me immense energy even after having slept about 9 consecutive hours before it happened.

These types of "higher level insights" one last ago kept telling me that "soon a new and fair currency system will emerge I should definitely become part of, eventually bringing me all freedom I want", among others. Back then I didn't know how this should look like, but once I finally ended up on Steemit, very same night I was again entering this state whereby I was told that "this is it".

Quite long comment, never mind :)

Really nice. I think so too Steem has a lot of potential. Dapps and SMT can be a big game changer.

But i think you are 100% right. Devs out of steem has no Idea about the potential.

Computer Games, Esport , new Front Ends, Streaming, Videos, Social Media, Market apps and a lot of application i never think about before, can come and make this Blockchain super awesome.

If i think about a Game like Path of Exile or Diablo 3 with tradeable items. OMG i think the player would love it.

And this is only one of thousends of ideas are possible on the Steem Blockchain.

And with this Dapps, the Blockchain can come more User friendly for less technical Users.

If this happen, i think it can be really good.

@theycallmedan If you need some help for your Marketing project, feel free to ask. I would love it, to help you.

Best Regards @freddio

I will be sure to reach out with the time comes, thanks @freddio

Love your enthusiasm for Steem. I especially like "work when nobody is watching" because I've always felt the same way.

indeed bro, specially if you are a well know person you can invite more investors on steemit..

The best way to success on steemit is investing if i had some money i would be surely invest and raise my steem power to give good value to people and earn such a good curation..

But i have nothing my daily need base on my steem rewards..and my extra income on steem i powered them up for my future..

Thanks for sharing this article Brother @theycallmedan

A great ad would go a long way in attracting people to Steem.

Actually several ads because there's so much going on this blockchain you can't cover everything in one ad.

I am glad you decided to come here. I think a lot of people will regret not making the same decision.

I started about 2 months ago being active her at Steem. And I am fired up. Your article expresses exactly what I feel and I hope we can continue to drive Steem and spread throughout the world.

Great to see you committed as we need more content creators like you to come over and increase our adoption of engaged users and developers. I think I have already bumped into you in @steemmonsters as those battles have been great and I imagine it is just another example of what makes STEEM so great given the way an ecosystem is being built to broaden the ways we can engage in a social aspect. Look forward to more of your content!

Risk is an essential ingredient of success.

If you're not willing to give something up, it's not likely that you're going to get anything in return (for that nothing). That's why they say activity breeds activity. If you're just sitting thinking about how you wish you had a bunch of money, you probably won't get it. If you're willing to put what you have on the line (be it time, money, reputation) you are in a position to reap the rewards.

Glad to hear that you're long on Steem!

Hah! This makes me so happy:

My first efforts will be to have a high-quality commercial made for Steem that will clearly show the difference between Steemit.com and Steem the blockchain while highlighting the massive potential for Steem.

Just today I commented on a post about the aftermath of HF20 from @themarkymark in which I mentioned this very thing! I wondered if there was a way in which (members of) the Steemit community could take it upon themself to promote the platform externally in a way that avoids creating false expectations, yet underlines the possibilities. And also if we could collectively find a way to make it easier for newcomers to get started.

And here you are planning to do the promoting part, for which you have my gratitude and full support :-) I wish I was able, or had the guts to go all in with Steemit and Steem, but I just can't... yet. Therefore I'm grateful and have great respect for steemians like you, and that you're willing and able to take that risk on behalf of so many of my peers. And for what it's worth, I also believe in this blockchain's potential for greatness :-) Thank you for leading the way, @theycallmedan!

This is why when I came to steemit over a year ago, even when things were very difficult for me on steemit, I never looked back and I kept on stemming.

I see the great potentials in steem and am here for the long haul.

Keep on steeming @theycallmedan. Good day.

I love your publications are very motivating @theycallmedan, they offer me very interesting and entertaining points of view, thanks for teaching us that I follow you and daily support.

I invested and I'm holding. It's a difficult process and it might even take something like 2 years but I know for a fact that we are going to the Moon. It simply has to happen because there's too much going on for it not to.

I totally agree with you, especially those of us tgat started with .001 cent a post to build it up to $3 a post from day one. The struggle is real for most of us and gaining support from those swimming above is tough work. I posted 2x a day for 7 months straight and it is exhausting. However this post of yours is my favorite because it is our home and the ones who stay through the hard times and not always making a lot are what make Steemit unique. Congrats on your success!

The secret sauce to Steem, and any platform for that matter (seen 8-year-old youtube channels with thousands of videos and a total of 200 views) - is comments. Comments are far and wide the best use of one's time if said person's goal is to accumulate connections. I can almost without a doubt say if you spent as much time on your comments, like this one, you would see much more fruit for your labor. Cheers

yup i am a high engager for sure, habe hit #1 on abh1234, paulags lists and helpie. :) i now found out who you are so it makes sense LOL transferring fom your old account to this one, i missed that. i am mostly in steemspeak and learning as i go. DTube is my next step to learning more, so thank you for that.
Cheers

Lmaooo died at the spirit bomb/SP delegation line, spot on. I'm feeling about SS3 level myself these days, so punped for the next year.

The best training for migatte no gokui of monetized content creation currently resides on the Steem blockchain.

BAT and JSE are looking good too, but they are far behind Steem.......

I was thinking we could easily take the BAT model and port it onto Steem. It is all open source.

It wouldn't take a lot technically to create an account that provides upvotes based on the number of unique visitors to a post.

The real challenge as always is finding someone to donate/delegate that SP.

Easily (maybe not so easy).... I am no expert at this but I do feel that it can be done.

Theoretically It could take Steem far beyond any growth projections that we may have. Steem already has the advantage of multiple dapps running successfully, the users of which would pounce on this if it were to happen.

That being said, going the SMT route isn't bad either......although I think that the two ideas can cohabitate on the same blockchain.

Ya I believe it is a big opportunity. What BAT did was genius and by either building the same model using STEEM or a SMT, even both. If no one does it I will have it built, I believe it is that important.

Count me in. I am no developer or promoter but I'll be able to make some noise about it :-)

very good your post and your intention to promote the wonderful potential that steem has and how great it can be if we all promote it daily so that investments and new members come to join the platform.

Curiously I was commenting a few days ago to some friends here in VENEUELA that Esteem is just missing a little push to take off and bring out its power, also in commenting that it was a golden moment to invest in sp to take advantage of the price that this is currently before the moon takes off, the bad thing is that currently the economic environment in my country does not help and prevents us from investing in this unique moment to embark the right train to victory.

I think your article and your great enthusiasm for steem is very good and that this very committed to this is the right train, there are more content creators missing that help to promote esteem as you.

The best is yet to come and we are on the right track, although there are always risks, but sometimes we have to leave fear and risk ourselves with the conviction that we are on the right track of success.

I hope soon I will improve my situation in venezuela and I can make my investment in SP and thus get on the train with more strength friend

Greetings and many blessings for you.

I wish you the best, stay strong.

Wow I hope this bodes well for steem and price.
Kind of makes my buying 30 to 60 steem or sbd a week pale in comparison.

Hope it works out well for you/us. We all win if you do.

It is all relative. There was a time just last year where 30-60 steem/sbd a week would have been pretty life changing for me.

Steem was at 90 cents ish this time last year and went up to $6.63 in under 2 months, fingers crossed on a repeat of that performance, and wow - then you really do win big.

You can view the chart here https://www.worldcoinindex.com/coin/steem just click 1 year, and see how it went for yourself.

Have a superb week.

I love your Dragonball references, it’s perhaps my favorite show of all time lol.

I’m glad people like you are joining the platform. I’m a late comer as well but I feel proud to be on here and collaborating with some great minds on here. I’ve learned so much and have met a lot of great people along the way, it’s certainly changed me. Coming here where there’s a lot of discussion and intelligent conversation is refreshing. The state run platforms have got so much hate on it it’s sad (I know the size differences play a key role in that but the quality of people associated with this platform is incredible that I feel those issues are mostly kept off here.)
Look forward to seeing what you can do for us all here!

Oh yeah Dan! Totally agree with you!
And I'm trying to do my best here on Steemit, even though I'm a mannequin, HAHAHA.
Have a great weekend!
Steemitri The Mannequin

These are the pure words of someone who believes in a future greater than his own imagination. Where I see STEEM today will never be the same spot Investment will take it to tomorrow.
I sincerely believe in what you are about to start Dan

What a milestone.. Congrats!

"Steem is the blockchain of go-getters, overachievers, the ones who work when no one is watching, and help those who no one else will." This over-achiever smiling to read this. 6 months on steem and I GET IT like never before. Be in touch for a coffee if ever you find yourself in Chiang Mai, Nothern Thailand. :)

But dont you think this is a wrong decision since joining one more platform does not necessarily need to leave others

Posted using Partiko Android

I quit the platforms out of principle. I don't really care about getting a ton of followers, I hate the word follower anyway, should be allies or something better. I don't mind taking a negative ROI approach if it means living a life that is completely on my terms.

HI dear friend nice editing

It my first time on your post and I found something original in your post you expressed your feelings that good...
According to mine opinion this block chain is race where everyone try to lead each other some of them try to lead by right way and some people reflect cheeting is right way....

I wonder why Steemit inc isn't more active when it comes to promoting, or am I just not seeing it? The new steem.io is cool tho. I agree that a lisiting at coinbase would do us good and I'm also very bullish on it for the near future.

With the energy that is focused, there is nothing this community cannot conquer.

Let's take over the world, yeah!!!:)

I found you by acidyo recommendation and I already see that he was right. Awesome words! While reading I felt inspired and I also laughed. I love Steem and Dragon Ball. The way you have combined them is amazing!

I must have been gone for too long. hehe. Massive accounts popping up during the bear market. :D
Welcome to Steem and good luck.

Hi @fulltimegeek! I`m here to help :) If you want to delegate, please make a comment (for example replay to this one) like this:
I want to delegate X sp to @user
Where X is the amount of SP and @user is the steem user you want to delegate to. For example:
I want to delegate 100 sp to @theycallmedan
@tipU will answer with a delegation link. Hope this helps!:)
